It was about 57°F (~14°C) this morning and this fella stayed perfectly still as I walked past and squatted down for photos. A very energetic dog had walked the other way moments earlier, so maybe it had a touch of animal spook, too? It seemed to be gone when I doubled back to head towards the other end of the park trail.

The skin texture looks really neat, but I didn't touch since I didn't know what kind of defenses they might have.

i’ve had this video saved in my camera roll since 2022 and i’m really curious as to what it is.

Caught on camera in Cedar River, MI. I know we have grey wolves in the UP, but didn’t think they were this far south.

Are they recent or no?.

Video was taken in the Rockies north of Jasper.

I saw this guy/girl show up to eat some food I leave out for the feral cats. I've never seen them before and I was just curious if anyone could tell what type of rat it is?

This was taken from a Ring camera during the rain so I apologize for the quality. Thanks.

ID?

Found a nest of babies in our backyard.

Found in UK garden this morning. We regularly get foxes coming in, think they dropped this off. Any ideas?

Sorry that it’s super quiet. It was repetitive, maybe once every 20 seconds or so, and I’ll admit I got a bit creeped out because it was at around 6am 0-0''.

Hey again, animalid reddit!

I hope I classified this post correctly. Can I get a little more help? In today's anime episode, I came across this animal. My first thought was a beaver, but the tail is absolutely wrong. When I did a little searching, I found that beavers, nutria, and muskrats tend to look very similar, so I'm likely seeing a nutria or muskrat in this screenshot. Since this show is based in Japan, I confirmed that both species are found in that region, albeit as introduced species. Is there any way to determine just which animal this critter is for sure? Thanks in advance for any advice you guys can give me.

So a security camera fell from its mount and captured this animal walking over it. I'm thinking fox or raccoon. Can someone help positively ID what it is? Texas Hill Country (Blanco County).

Camping near Hope BC and this sound has been happening every couple of minutes for hours now. No one knows what it is. It's pitch black outside, so there's no going looking for it.

Slowed down video in replies:

**Hey guys. My brothers cat is missing, and we are worried she might be gone, or an animal took her. Last night, around 3am, we think she slipped out the front door while one of us went to get something from the front porch. On either side of the front porch, there is an areas with tanbark and trees. She’s slipped out before, and she usually stays on the porch or in that tanbark area. Two hours went by when we were both wondering, “where tf is Lucy?”**
We searched everywhere. Turned our house upside down, searched the property multiple times. We put her litter box out, shook her food bag, called her name, we did everything. We found these animal droppings right by the front porch. My fear is that what ever animal this poop belongs to, snatched our cat and took off with it and killed her. We live on a hill in the Bay Area, lots of coyotes, snakes, bob cats, tarantulas, owls, live on our property. We hear coyotes howling at night and owls hooting. I want to identify what this animal is, I want to know what you guys think could have happened, and I also want to know how to support my brother. Please let me know your thoughts and if you have any suggestions. Do we keep looking?
She’s a small cat, tiny frame, 9lbs.

What is this Brown thing. It moved around and when i touched it became small
